All That's Left in the World

While there are some serious elements to this book, I found it quite enjoyable. As another review on here pointed out how much the book talks about smiling (negatively), the book actually did make me smile quite a few times.

It is a story about two teenagers just trying to survive in a post-pandemic world while also finding out who they really are.

I would recommend it if you are in to MM romances.

Writing reviews of books I loved is the hardest thing for me. How am I to summarize and explain how this novel gripped my attention, and my heart, from the first pages to the last? How I was at the edge of my seat during the adventurous and romantic parts, while the characters experienced violence and tenderness? How I yelled at the pages and pleaded with the author (strictly telepathically) to let something happen, or prevent something else? How I felt the weather, the emotions, and everyting else that was described in this book as if with my own body?
Impossible, really.

I found myself pleasantly surprised by this one! Earnest and heartfelt, and with a sense of humor that grew on me the longer I read it.

(If you’re an audiobook person, I highly recommend listening to this one. The performances are really top notch!)

I loved this book! Barely wanted to put it down. The perfect representation and everything. Hate and love in the world. The timing—as bad as the past years were—couldn’t have been better. And the amount of COVID being mentioned was perfect as well. What a joy it was to read this book—even with how dark it was.

Nope. I can't. If you love the word "smile" you're in for a treat, because this author uses it at least once a paragraph. And I can't stand it enough to finish. The ideas and characters aren't worth the anguish of stabbing myself in the eyes with rusty nails just to continue reading "smile, smiling, smiled, smiles" SHUT UP. Get a thesaurus for God's sake, and a better editor.
